London Duck Tours – Ducking Good!
So, just recently I took the 9yr old to London for a Daddy/Son bonding day out. I try and do this once a year with all my children; I think it’s an important thing to do. Finding out what makes them tick, watching their interests and finding common ground that we can take forward into the future. This can only help keep the lines of communication open as they hurtle headlong toward their awkward teenage years (besides, it’s fun,...
Babies In The Cinema – do you?
Five years ago, I was desperate to see the new Harry Potter film. I had a 3mth old baby which I didn’t want to leave with a sitter, so the husband and I decided to take her too. And it was fine – she slept most of the way through, woke at a few of the loud bits, and on the whole it was fine. But I was under no illusions – had she made any noise, I would have had to leave, as this was an evening showing, and the...
Beko gets on board with submarine restoration project
In a couple of weeks time we’re whisking the children down to Gosport to see a real live proper actual submarine, courtesy of Beko, who have become the largest consumer brand to contribute to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum’s ‘Saving HMS Alliance Appeal’. Excited? Much? Erm… just a le-e-e-tle bit. *nods* I mean, come on. It’s a submarine! (cue radar pyee-e-e-w noises, please) The Alliance Appeal is a fundraising...
Bluestone National Park Holiday Resort, Wales – LittleStuff Review
We were invited to review the Bluestone National Park holiday resort in Pembrokeshire, Wales for a midweek break and right from the top I can tell you that we give it a very positive thumbs up and definitely recommend it for a family holiday. We returned home with happy and relaxed smiles on our face and lots of “Yes, we had a really good time!” replies to those inevitable “How was it?” questions. I must...
When LittleStuff went to Frankie & Benny’s. Twice.
Having been asked by Frankie & Benny’s to go along and review their new menu, we were only too happy to oblige – with four children and a teeny tiny bank balance, its not often we take them out en masse for a meal ;) The nearest F&B’s to us is Yeovil (20 miles away), so we duly booked a table during the holidays, and turned up 20 minutes before the allotted 6.30 time… only to find the restaurant was...
The Dad & Son Road Trip
Anyone who follows us on twitter knows that last week was the Big Event. The Father Son Road Trip, from Dorset to Manchester. Well, Old Trafford, to be precise – the belated 10th birthday present for Boy, our footballing No.2 son. Excited? NOT the word… It’s a 216 mile journey. His first video blog was created… um…8 miles from home… (watch as he tries to figure out how far they’ve come in 15...
